When practicing the waltz, one boy counts off 1-2-3-4.
The waltz is a three count.
In one scene, the entire adult dance class is waltzing to 4/4 music -- including the dance instructor.
As noted above, waltz is in 3/4 time.
Some promises, like the one Stephen Mills made to Sue Gober when they were young, are often forgotten as life gets complicated. It's hard to imagine someone will still remember a pledge to meet with a childhood sweetheart forty years after it was made.
Frank (Robert Carlyle) is a widowed baker, trying to recover from his wife's sudden death. As he is driving the highway, one day, he comes across a serious auto accident involving a single driver, Steve (John Goodman).
This is the sort of movie millions of people love because it pushes all the right buttons at all the right times, and it pushes them hard. It seems real enough that they feel like it is talking directly to them personally, and yet it is unreal enough to create in them a wide range of intense emotional reactions within a relatively short time.
Don't miss this one - unless your life has always been perfect and easy.In that case, this movie would not be for you!
This is such a good movie.There is so much tragedy in the lives of the characters and yet they seek comfort and happiness at the Marilyn Hotchkiss Ballroom Dancing and Charm School.
I cried a lot in this movie... Especially at the end...
I never saw this in the theatre but caught it recently on STARZ. Like Steve, I'm a Southern California boy(Ventura-born)and lived in Pasadena for eight years.

This is a somewhat quirky story that I find works very well. It is not told in a linear fashion and that works very well, with the fine editing.
